Broke: Barbie’s many different careers are a way to sell dolls and accessories to little kids.
Woke:Barbie had every single one of those careers and is an immortal timeless being.
Bespoke:Barbie’s different careers are different versions of Barbie from across the multiverse who occasionally swap place with each other or combine into one Barbie.

I have often used Barbie to explain Greek mythology, and people laugh until I explain it, and then they get really serious and thoughtful.
I say, “The Greeks ascribed aspects to gods. Apollo had many aspects, but all were Apollo. He’s like Barbie that way. She’s an astronaut, a veterinarian, and a rollerskater, but no matter which of those things she is in the moment, she is always still Barbie. She is Barbie in her aspect as.”
Then people get not only the idea of “aspects” of godhood, but also, well, the changeable yet eternal nature of Barbie.

I did some of the expressions from yesterday’s prompt. I might try to do more later? MG, a loser. HickChick, a loser who can bake. K, a loser who snipes, and Skittles, a loser that likes vehicles. They are all queer.
